Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Here from New York, where he teaches interactive telecommunications at NYU is author Clay Shirky with a new book on our relationship with technology. His earlier book, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organization, made a big splash, helping define the landscape of things for many. The new book, Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age (Penguin Press), picks up where the earlier left off. "Digital-age guru Shirky argues that new technology is making it possible for people to collaborate in ways that have the potential to change society ... In this well-written and highly speculative book, Shirky suggests that in these ways new media has enormous potential to transform our lives ... The author discusses the many factors that have given rise to social media and suggests the conditions that will best allow voluntary groups to take advantage of the world's aggregate free time to benefit society ... An informed look at the social impact of the Internet." - Kirkus Reviews. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006).
